    I got a PM through this board last week from 'member' AUTOS (0 posts) regarding parts he has for sale for a 71 Buick.

    My advize: don't do any bussiness with this guy or contact him... Since he has zero posts here it seemed kinda fishy to me. Also it turned out (IP address) he's not in the UK at all.

    Admin has been notified and action was taken.

    Scam.
    If you post a parts wanted ad that guy will contact you and claim to have the rarest part from just about any car ever built, been doing it for years if it's the guy I think it is.

    Good thing you noticed the lack of posts. A few years back myself and a couple other members got PM's form another zero poster. I delited it for that fact, then another member posted about the same thing. 1 sentence saying nothing more that "look at the links" and there were a few links in the PM. Everyone was smart enough not to open them though.........

    If he PMs me, I'm liable to go over and give him the business. And if he's seen my dog, he'll know I'm serious

    He has been banned. Everyone must use vigilance when buying and selling over the Internet.

    It's a good thing you aren't drinking beer, then. Beer leaves the keyboards sticky, you know :)
